Jackée Harry has opened up about undergoing a deep-plane facelift and how the experience has impacted her sense of self.
The 69-year-old actress revealed that she had the cosmetic procedure done in the fall of 2025 after considering it for nearly two years.
She explained that she wanted to address loose skin and felt ready to take the step after thinking carefully about it for a long time.
Harry shared that she was very clear about what she wanted from the surgery and described her goal as wanting her skin to feel lifted and refreshed.
Her surgeon described the deep-plane facelift as a procedure that resets facial tissues to their earlier position and noted that it can take several hours to complete.
The actress said she had ongoing conversations with her doctor over the years before finally deciding to move forward.
Reflecting on her younger self, Harry said she always felt confident and glamorous and hoped to reconnect with that feeling.
She also revealed that she looked to other celebrities for inspiration while considering the procedure.
Harry recalled advice she once received to take small steps when it comes to cosmetic work, rather than waiting too long.
Despite her excitement, she admitted she had fears about pain and worried about whether the surgery would change her appearance too much.
She also shared that her boyfriend encouraged her to embrace her natural beauty and reassured her that she did not need the procedure.
Ultimately, Harry decided to move forward after realizing how strongly she wanted it.
Following the healing process, she said the procedure helped her feel more like herself.
Harry openly discussed experiencing body dysmorphia and explained that the facelift helped her reconnect with her identity.
She emphasized that she has no issues with aging and does not feel ashamed of her age.
According to Harry, the procedure did not change who she is but instead enhanced how she feels about herself.
She also acknowledged that cosmetic procedures can become addictive and said she remains cautious about taking things further.
Before the surgery, she worried about whether she would still look like herself afterward.
After seeing the results, she said she felt relieved and confident that she was still recognizably herself.
Looking ahead, Harry shared that she is excited for the moment when she can fully step back into glamorous public appearances.
She said one of the moments she is most looking forward to is walking down the aisle alongside her boyfriend.
Harry has played Paulina Price on Days of Our Lives since 2021 and continues to stay active in her career.
